![]() ![]() Beyond that, the event is a vital way to connect to the community and get them into and experiencing the gardens - it's fundraising and friend-raising," Salisbury said. "Of course one of the primary goals of Temple Ambler in Bloom is as a fundraiser, which helps us complete projects and achieve Arboretum goals. Proceeds from Temple Ambler in Bloom 2019 will go towards the maintenance of the gardens and their infrastructure including new signage and plantings. Carter van Dyke, ASLA, AICP, founder of CVDA Landscape Architects/Planners and a member of the Ambler Campus Board of Visitors, is also offering "table-top" garden consultations, she added. I think the diversity of experiences really shows that the Ambler Campus and the Ambler Arboretum offer something for everyone," said Salisbury, who is offering gardening consultations as part of the experiences up for action. "These are all creative, interactive ways to truly connect to what we are doing here on campus. Salisbury said some of the stars of the silent and live auctions this year will be "unique experiences that reflect the activities and research that is taking place at Temple Ambler."Įxamples include a free week of summer camp and a consultation on developing your personal strengths offered by the Office of Non-Credit and Continuing Education participation in specialized training sessions offered by the Temple University Municipal Police Academy and Criminal Justice Training Programs and a small business start-up consultation, including logo development, offered by Temple's Small Business Development Center. Additionally, we'll have a private guided tour of the Michener Art Museum and a guided tour of Meadowbrook Farm up for auction - and this is all just a small sampling of what we will have available during the live and silent auctions." "We'll also have some beautiful botanical artwork available from the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators. The Amorphophallus is also known as a 'corpse flower' and for good reason - it gives off the scent of a dead body to attract flies and beetles who in turn act as pollinators for the plant!" said Salisbury. "We have some very interesting plants available for the live auction this year, including carnivorous plants and some Amorphophallus titanum, which are being grown in the campus Greenhouse. The live auction will include several highly sought-after Temple treasures, including dinner for 10 with Temple University President Richard Englert in Ambler Borough and lunch for six with Provost JoAnne Epps. The beverage sponsor for 2019 is Tannery Run Brew Works in Ambler Borough.Īlso returning for 2019 are the popular silent and live auctions featuring unique plants, artwork and experiences. Temple Ambler in Bloom will also include live music by Fox School of Business alumnus Tyler Hunsberger, hors d'oeuvres and refreshments. We'll be acknowledging our alums with a special flower on their name badges and hear from a few of our notable alumni during the event." "As this is the 30th year since the establishment of the undergraduate landscape and horticulture programs at Temple, we wanted to celebrate the students and their role in caring for and helping to create these amazing garden spaces in the Arboretum. "One of the wonderful things about the Ambler Arboretum is the rich history that it shares with Temple Ambler and the connections that our students have to the gardens, which have served as a living laboratory for students for more than a century," said Kathy Salisbury, Director of the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University. Party attire and turf-tolerant shoes are suggested. in the Louise Bush-Brown Formal Perennial Gardens. That philosophy continues to this day as the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University celebrates 30 years of landscape architecture and horticulture students during Temple Ambler in Bloom, the Arboretum's 14th annual garden party and fundraiser, which will be held on Saturday, September 14, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. "Nationally they had been growing further and further apart. The thing that really excited me was the potential combination of horticulture and landscape architecture," said Collins in an interview during the 40th anniversary of Ambler as a campus of Temple. "I wanted students that would look at nature, not pave over it. In practice with his own landscape architecture and environmental planning firm for 25 years prior to coming to Temple, Collins "needed some soldiers," in the battle to preserve the environment. Collins, FASLA, and a dedicated group of faculty built on 75 years of environmental education offered at Temple University Ambler to create prestigious four-year undergraduate programs in Landscape Architecture and Horticulture that have generated dedicated leaders in every field of the green industry. ![]()
